The Clair Patee Star Dramatic COM
pany now stand as the best troupe that
has ever visited Medicine Lodge. Mon
day evening they produced "Queena,"
and it proved such success that the
audience en- naGSSe decided that it would
not miss the performance of Tuesday
night, and one hundred persons secur-
ed their seats before leaving the room
for the Bankers Daughter" which
was played last DIght. Such demon
station had never been seen heIe be-
fore. The strong point of the compa-
ny is that it has not a weak character
in its composition, and Miss Arnold
certainly could not ask for better sup
port. She is young woman of fine
ability, who holds and enraptures her
audience from the moment of her first
appearance before it. Willard Simms
is comedian with original and sur
prising ideas of fun, and lie is success.
j. w. Garner is good in any character
he assumes; and the balance of the
company is above the standard of trav-
cling troupes. Mr.. Patee is a success
full manager and our people will be
glad to have him come here frequently.
